Metro Nashville sets a permit bond for each kind of work. Building, electrical, plumbing and gas or mechanical contractors each file the bond for their trade, and so do excavation contractors, house movers and snowplow operators. These are the bonds for contracting work outside the public right of way; work in the right of way is bonded separately.
The bond runs to the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County. It backs the contractor's promise to follow Metro codes and permit conditions. If a contractor breaks those rules and causes a loss, a claim can be paid, and the contractor repays the surety.
Choose your trade above, enter your business and contact details, and you go straight to the secure application. Nashville and Davidson County sets the required amount, confirmed after review, so check the current figure with the county before you file.
